Sofia is in 7th position out of 18 cities in the European Commission’s European green capital competition.
Sofia comes first in the categories “air quality” and “integrated management”. The Bulgarian capital city performed well in the indexes – climate change adaptation - 3rd position, climate change mitigation – 4th position, and energy – 4th position.
The jury of international experts and researchers is recommending that Sofia build upon its results in the sphere of urban mobility, and make particular efforts in biodiversity, sustainable use of land, waters and noise.
